There’s something wonderfully comforting about a simple bowl of Cream of Tomato Soup, especially the kind we learned to make in Teen Guide to Home Making. Back then, the kitchen was a place of learning—where aprons were tied neatly, vegetables were peeled carefully, and recipes were followed with earnest pride. This soup was often one of the first we were trusted to prepare, a soft and steady lesson in stirring gently, balancing flavors, and watching milk with patient eyes.
The result was always the same: a rosy-pink bowl of cozy warmth, familiar as a favorite sweater on a chilly afternoon. It wasn’t fancy, and it didn’t need to be—it was wholesome, nourishing, and just right with a stack of buttered crackers. Today, we make it not because it’s complicated, but because it reminds us of simpler days, thoughtful steps, and the joy of making something from scratch.
Let’s open the cupboard, set a pot on the stove, and savor a little bit of home.
Jump to RecipeFor this recipe you will need the following ingredients:
Tomatoes: cooked, canned crushed or pureed tomatoes (large can). I used a can of pureed tomatoes is my recipe. This eliminated the need to put it through a sieve. If you choose crushed or diced tomatoes, just blend it in a blender or with a immersion stick blender.
Onion
Butter or Margarine
Flour: All purpose works perfect.
Salt
Sugar
Milk: I used full fat milk. Cream will also work. In the recipe it said to scald in a double boiler. I just heated to almost boiling then added it to the tomato mixture.
Basil or Italian Seasoning: The original recipe did not call for basil or italian seasoning. In the past I have added either and it was a wonderful addition.
